Yes, it’s summertime in south Florida and it’s much hotter and more humid than during the rest of the year, which means your system will likely cycle on and off less often—but, your system should not be struggling to keep up. If your air conditioner is constantly running and not reaching the targeted temperature, there’s something wrong with your system.

Summer is nearly here, which means you need to ensure your AC unit is running as well as possible—and if it’s not, then you need to decide if installing a new unit is your best option. Here in south Florida, it feels like there are two seasons: hot and hotter. During the hot summer days (and nights), you’re air conditioner runs constantly and works hard to keep your home cool. If you find your electricity bills are increasing but it takes longer for your unit to cool your home, installing a new high-efficiency air conditioner is likely the way to go, and there are many benefits to choosing a high-efficiency unit over a “standard” one.
